Sage Rod Repair

[Robb76]

Hi all, just after a recommendation if possible.

I have recently acquired a Sage Z-axis 15' rod, upon inspection I have noticed that the bottom ring insert has worn a v section, which will end up catching on the line.

Could any recommend anyone who would be able to replace this?

thanks in advance

Rob.

Any decent rod builder but Renee at Foxons was the official Sage repairs agent iirc. Are you sure the insert has grooved and not chipped? Usually they are hard but brittle ceramic? Or is it one of those REC recoil jobs? PacBay minima? Replace with a deep pressed Fuji if I were you
